Vets Park 1 Year Later!

The renovation at Vets Park in Ann Arbor is almost complete!

     Veterans Memorial Park (Vets Park) in Ann Arbor is set to reopen next week after a year long renovation project that brought several new improvements to the baseball, and softball fields.  The i's are getting dotted and the t's are getting crossed as the final touches are being added.  The pool is scheduled to reopen tomorrow, while the baseball, and softball diamonds will officially reopen next Friday.  The entrances to all of the fields are blocked off until next Friday, and signs letting everyone know are posted everywhere.  New sod has been added, along with a paved parking lot, and the dimensions for Vets #5 have been slightly altered.  The new dimensions are 344ft to center field, 300ft to the left field corner, and the right field corner is 288 ft.  Check out last years posts to compare photos and dimensions.  Vets Park is located on the corner of Maple, and Dexter just west of downtown Ann Arbor.
     Cement pads were poured for all the benches and bleacher areas, but dugouts were not installed as previously planned by the renovation committee. The baseball and softball diamonds have never looked better however, as new dirt, and grass have given the fields a professional look.  Vets Park is home to several baseball, and softball leagues, including an adult 'wood bat' league which features top ball players from the area.  Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor competes in the adult 'wood bat' league against the Ann Arbor A's, the Michigan Tigers, and several other sponsored teams from the Mitten State.  The baseball, and softball leagues help support the community, and the city of Ann Arbor benefits from the money generated by the leagues.  It's refreshing to see the city of Ann Arbor giving back to its community by investing in its parks and recreational system.  Community baseball and softball leagues will remain a staple of Ann Arbor for years to come. 

New sod, dirt, and cement have been added to Vets Park
